A MAN will face a trial after pleading not guilty to two counts of sexual assault.

Craig Perkins, of Victoria Park Road, appeared at Bournemouth Crown Court on Thursday for a preliminary hearing.

The defendant, 28, denied both charges and was remanded into custody.

He will go on trial at the same court in May.

Police were called to Boundary Road in Thursday, November 24 last year after an alleged sexual assault.

Two further alleged offences are said to have taken place in Boundary Road on Tuesday, September 13 and neighbouring Slades Farm on Wednesday, September 14.
